To stop test at any time, press the ESC key. Use the soft keys ü or û to select
'Quit test?'.
When printing Room CO safety test results Sprint will also provide data showing for how long the recommended level of CO was exceeded. This is expressed
as hh:mm > allowed.
6. Gas escape test (eVo2 and eVo3 only)
Note: Battery power will be used at a higher rate under this test.
Select Gas Escape Detection from the Test Menu. Connect the Gas escape probe
(GEP) to the USB connetor, the light will illuminate on the probe. Sprint will
display a warning if the probe is not connected.
Sprint will display 'sensor stabilising' for approximately 30 seconds.
When the sensor is stable the unit will ask 'in clean air?' before zeroing.
Press ü to zero the unit. Sprint will display a bar graph on the screen as gas
levels are monitored.
Place the probe in the area of inspection for several seconds before moving it
to other locations.
Sprint will emit continuous clicks like a Geiger counter. If higher gas levels are
detected the bar graph will increase in readings and the sounder will increase
in pitch.
Press ESC to quit the test.
As with many types of instrumentation the gas escape probe may be damaged
by impact. If the probe is dropped or suffers significant impact in another way
check its operation by first plugging it into the Sprint and confirming that it is
recognised by the analyser.
If this is successful select the gas escape mode and briefly apply a sample of gas,
for example from an unlit cooker ring. This will allow the user to verify whether
the sensor is working correctly or not. If the gas is not detected contact Telegan
or your local distributor to arrange for the probe to be serviced.
It is recommended good practice that the above check is carried out periodically
even if the user is not aware of the probe being exposed to impact.
If the Sprint detects a fault with the GEP it will display a warning advising that
the leak sensor is faulty and the test will be aborted.

Operation
I. Operation
Before using the Sprint flue gas analyser on any heating appliance installation,
ensure you are familiar with the working practices defined in the BS7967 standard which details how to perform certain tests and safety issues to consider.
Auto zero setting
The Sprint unit will require auto zero before performing any of the following
tests: Flue Gas Analysis and Room CO Safety test. All other options will be available on start up. Ensure all tubes and probes are connected before entering an
option that requires auto zeroing and zero outside in clean air.
Pump
Sprint runs the internal pump during purge and when certain tests are entered
into; and during and after some tests. A rotating purge icon will appear on the
screen
when purging. The speed and therefore the sound emitted by the
pump, may vary depending on the test being conducted. To save on the battery
life, Sprint will turn off the pump when it is not required.
When the pump is running ensure the exit gas exhaust is not blocked and do
not breath in the exhaust gases.

Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide Room Safety Tests
Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide
Room Safety Tests
Sprint instruments are designed to assist heating engineers to work to the BS
7967 specification for carbon monoxide room safety testing. You should refer
to BS7967, which defines the requirements, details the methods as well as the
pass and fail criteria for various types of appliances.
CO Room Safety Test in the Sprint instruments is designed to measure the build
up of carbon monoxide levels in a room where a gas appliance is in use and
record those values each minute for the duration of the test. In addition at the
end of the test it assists the engineer (in an advisory capacity only) to determine
whether the test has passed or failed or if the results are invalid. In certain
circumstances, where the results are borderline or open to interpretation, the
instrument will ask the operator to decide if the test has passed or failed, and
will record the operators decision.
Please note: ultimately it is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the test
is correctly performed to the BS 7967 specification. If the data does not support the
result or the operator suspects it is not reliable due to local conditions (such as carbon
monoxide level changes due to cigarette smoke or vehicle traffic) or incorrect, then
either the test should be repeated or the operator should seek expert advice.

Result Codes
The pass or fail result is displayed when the test completes and is printed on
the report as well as recorded in the log. If the test fails a code number is also
displayed, printed on the report and recorded in the log. This fail code identifies the way in which the test failed and can help identify the cause. Also when
28
Sprint eVo1/eVo2/eVo3
Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide Room Safety Tests
the test completes a short text message associated to this code is displayed in
a pop-up prompt dialog screen, to explain the reason for failure.
The result codes and associated prompt dialogue messages are as follows:
RESULT & CODE
POP-UP PROMPT ON-SCREEN
“PASSED"
“PASSED (2)"
ANY “FAILED”
“FAILED (1)”
“FAILED (2)”
“FAILED (3)”
“FAILED (4)”
None
None
“Warning - CO Room Safety test failed.”
CO levels did not fall or unstable.
CO unacceptably high (for too long).
CO dangerously high.
Unacceptable or incomplete.
“Press ESC key to continue.”
Pass Cases
Normal Acceptable Peak of CO
Normally for a test to pass, the CO levels must peak without exceeding the
maximum allowed CO level and then fall (by at least 1 ppm) below the peak
value before the end of the test. Note that it is not necessary for the CO level
to reach or be close to zero at the end of the test, so long as it remains below
the maximum allowed CO level.
The result code is: PASSED
Very Low Levels of CO
If the CO levels remain below 3 ppm (ie: close to clean air or background noise
levels) for the duration of the test, then the test is considered to have passed.
The result code is: PASSED
Failure Cases
Excessive Levels of CO
If the CO level exceeds the CO alarm level then the test is considered to have
failed and should be immediately aborted. The CO alarm may be triggered at
any stage (before, during and after completion of the test) and continues to
annunciate until the CO level returns to a safe level.
The result code is: FAILED (3)
29
Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide Room Safety Tests
Sprint eVo1/eVo2/eVo3
NB: The alarm should prompt the operator to take appropriate action according to
BS7967 and safety procedures. The sensors in the instrument should be purged with
clean air and allowed to recover.
Unacceptable Levels of CO
A peak duration timer records whenever the CO level exceeds the maximum
allowed CO level during the test. If the total peak duration time exceeds the
max peak duration allowed then the test fails due to unacceptable levels of CO.
The result code is: FAILED (2)
Operator Pass/Fail Cases
The following results are considered to be operator determined whether the
test passes or fails:
Acceptable Levels of CO with no Peak
For some appliances CO levels may rise to a value beneath the specified limit
and stabilise rather than fall. In this case it is up to the operator to determine
PASS or FAIL.
If operator chooses to fail the test, the result code is: FAILED (4) otherwise the
result code is: PASSED (2)
CO Level Exceeds Max Allowable Level for a Short Duration
For some appliances (eg: cooker) a peak exceeding the maximum allowed CO
level may be acceptable, provided the CO level falls back below this level within
the max peak duration time. It is up to the operator to determine if the result
is acceptable or not.
If the operator chooses to fail the test, the result code is: FAILED (4)
Otherwise the result code is: PASSED (2)
Other Cases
When a test is not performed correctly, the results are inconclusive or there is
insufficient or unreliable data Sprint attempts to interpret the readings detected
and fail the test. It is possible for the results of a test to appear to be valid when
it was performed incorrectly or the data collected was unreliable in some way.
Please refer to BS7967 and ensure tests are carried out correctly. Sprint V tries
to reject incorrectly taken test readings but should not be relied on to instruct
engineers on correct working practice.
30
Sprint eVo1/eVo2/eVo3
Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide Room Safety Tests
Multiple Peaks of CO
The overall peak CO reading recorded will be the latest peak CO reading that
was higher than any previous. The peak duration recorded will be the total
time the CO readings exceeded the maximum allowed CO level. The pass / fail
criteria are applied as before based on this information. Sprint does not expect
to record multiple peaks of CO where the reading goes up and down more
than once.
Unstable or Rising Levels of CO
If there is a significant build up of CO levels at the end of the test and levels are
still rising the test will fail.
The result code is: FAILED (1)
CO Level Exceeds Max Allowable Level and Peaks for Unknown
Duration
If the CO level exceeds the maximum allowed too close to the end of the test
then the test is failed. This can occur if there is a build up of CO levels towards
the end of the test or the appliance fires up late on in the test or the test is
stopped too early. The test should be repeated if this occurs.
The result code is: FAILED (2)
CO Level Does Not Start Close to Zero
It is important that the instrument is zeroed in clean air at switch-on. Failure to
do so will invalidate the test result. BS 7967-2 also requires that the room is
well ventilated prior to starting the test. However it is possible that there may
be a residual background CO level (eg: due to traffic fumes). The instrument
will display a pop-up box prior to starting the test if the CO level is more than
3 ppm.1
